Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, originates in

ed by the decomposition of the gelatinous and al
luminous tissues. circulates with the blood and
attacks the hbrous tissues, particularly in the
joints. and thus causes the local manifestations of
the disease. The back and shoulders are the
parts usually affected by rheumatism and the
joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are
also sometimes attacked. Thousands of people

The use of the newspaper, as an
advertising medium, grows in popular
ity with all classes of business men
and the use of the dodger will soon be.
come a thing of the past. The well.
known soap man, Frank Sidalls, who
probably has spent more for advertis-
Ing than any other man in the couu-
try, advises the newspaper always as
the best way to reach the public, and
the veteran Snowman, p. L. Barnum,
who knows what he is talking about,
constantly speaks Of the advantages
offered b. the newspaper for this pur-
pose. In a recent address to the bust
ness men of Bridgeport, Conn, he
said:
"IOu do not, any of you, adver.
tise enough. You ought to use print
ers' ink every dav. Iuu arc asleep
and want your business to run itself.
Standing advertisements in paper
command confidence. The man who
for year lives in one community and
'eads a reputable life, even though he
be of moderate ability, will grow in
the confidence and esteem of his fsl.
lows On the same principle a news
aper advertisement becomes familiar
in the eyes of the reader. 1t may
Il seldom read, still it makes the

lar, and its presence in the columns OF

Thin Egg Shells.

If the egg shells are thin it is a sign
that lime is lacking in the food. or
often, if this occurs in winter, that
fowls can not get to the ground to fill
their gizzards with gravel needed to
digest food properly. Leghorn hens
and other persistent layers generally
have very thin-shelled eggs despite all
precautions in feeding. Many losses
of eggs while undergoing incubation
occur from this cause. To prevent
eggs from being thin-shelled it is better
to give milk and wheat middlings mixed
rather than rely on fowls eating a suf-
ficiency of lime in any form. If egg
shells are fed they should be pounded
so fine that all appearance of the egg
will be destroyed. More fowls learn to
eat eggs from having nearly$whols
shells thrown to them to peck at than
from any other Cause Chicago Herald

Indeed, in this uniform transition of
the railroad from honor to dishenor,
it is entirely unique. But notwith-
standing the tone of humility which,
as a prosecuted railroad lawyer, 1 sm
driven to assume in the courthouse, |
would say here, if | am permitted to
say it confdentially to this company,
not to 60 any further. but to remain
under the sacred protection of the
rose, which hangs over the festive
board. would say L believe in my
heart that the railroad is the great
civilizer of the age. On more grave
occasion, not a great while ago, it be-
came incumbent upon me to make q
few utterances, in all seriousness, on
this same subject. L said then, as |
say now, I'VE will better understand
what the railroad is by taking a.
glance at country, highly favored
by nature, but unprecedented by the
iron road. We select our own goodly
land and imagine the railroad map
obliterated. The rich minerals,
scarcely concealed from view, continue
their dateless sleep. The magnificent
timber, except where it skirts Some
stream capable of floating it to the
sea, falls where it grew. useless TO
man. In parts, unvisited by railroads,
the waste is greatest where the harvest
is heaviest, and golden grain perishes
in the field, though countless hungry
mouths elsewhere in the world clamol
for bread. The rivers are uncrossed.
save by the ferrybost and the ford.
The forests are practically painless,
and the prairies boundless. A little
meagre intelligence filters slow and
late through the sequestered land,
and outer world is far away and
unknown.
i" But the railroad comes, and all
is changed. The time has arrived
when the coal and iron must leave
their ancient beds, the forests yield
their treasures to civilized man, the
products of every field find the con-
sumner, wherever in the world he NAV
be; the rivers are spanned the wild
erness is traversed; space is annihilat-
ed; busy towns grow up where be-
fore there were silence and solitude,
and the strong heat of the worlds
heart is felt wherever the great
civilizer comes"
